I think you'd be happy with this unit. In my Ram, I have mine mounted under the back seat. There's a dial mounted on my dash to control the sub level. I think it goes to 10. The Geek Squad guys set it to 2.5 and I rarely need to have it any higher. Nice thing is, the bass on my stereo speakers is now at -2, so the sub saves the wear and tear on the door speakers while providing that rich, full sound and good bass.

It's small and compact...so keeping it close to the listener is recommended. I had my unit installed under the front passenger seat. It sounds great! I don't think that placing it in trunk would give you good results.

I think you'll be very pleased with this unit, for a little sub I was very surprised with the power, totally compliments my system, you can adjust the amount of bass you want as well! Good choice!

I have an F-150 Super crew and is barely enough for this application, as the unit is very small. I'm not sure this would work in a trunk of a car, unless the sub is ported to the front.

I have an X3 and I powered it with this: Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital AmplifierI have it turned way down and this sub kicks. It's very tight and punchy. As for in a trunk, just turn the gain up a little and it should have no problem.

Have it in a 2013 chevy crewcab silverado under the back seat fits perfect. Have it powered by a kicker cx600.1 amp with a bass knob so you can control the bass sounds awesome for two little eights. You will be surprise how much bass comes from it.

Look in the trunk to see if there is anything that may be in the way on where your existing speakers areocated as these speakers have a bigger magnet on the bottom than stock speakers. If you see nothing close to th you should be fine

I put an Alpine S 12" in there and it sounds pretty solid. The box is well constructed and heavy. crisp bass

You dont, but definitely sounds better with a clean 50 watt or high per channel amp.I have them in 2 cars one right off the head unit and the other off an alpine 4 X 50 watt amp.

I have mine on 1ohm and doesn't sound bad at all, my trunk still sound like a gorilla trying to escape. Great speakers but if played to loud for to long they will burn out.

Get a seperate amp. If my stock one was a 2/10, after speakers and a head unit id rate it a 4/10. But the amp jumped it to 8.5/10. AMP is a HUGE difference

If your head unit has a pre amp it should be fine, the bass on these units are good .

i have this in a Nissan Frontier under my back seat and i think it sounds great. Not too much base at all, no rattling of anything, but there when you need it. I have it hooked up to a JX250 JL Audio Monoblock amp.

I'm using mine in a free air app (trunk) but if you use the specs for a 8in sub Inclosure I think they'll still give you a good mid bass

honestly man unless you have a pickup I wouldn't even buy this box,i bought for my impala and wanted to save space in the trunk and because its smaller I bought it, bad mistake the bass sounds boxie instead of deep as should I had a pair of octagon boxes and the bass was amazing I should have kept them instead of getting into this junk, aint even worth the money

As long as you have an air intake you will have a nice swoosh sound. Nothing outlandish. Sounds fantastic:)

Sherry, I cant tell you if these would be a direct fit. there may be modification involved to make them fit physically in the car. There is also a question of whats called impedence or ohm value compatability. if the impedence of these woofers differs too much from the blown factory woofer the sub may seem way louder or way less volume than the factory sub. in a worst case scenerio if the impedence is too far off damage to factory amp will occour. All I can say for certain is my experience with these woofers is exceptional ESPECIALLY considering the price. Although I can't spell I'am a Factory Certified Level 1 BMW Diagnostic Technician with a background in audio spanning 23 years.

absolutely I have two of the same subs running off of that very same amp. I have them in a 89 mercury Grand Marquis in a custom-built ported box the takes up the whole trunk when it was built to specs of the subs. For your truck I would suggest a sealed box unless you don't care about having any space left over. But that's just my opinion. Either way you put it, this setup will thunder. Beware hearing damage may occur. Lol
